    WHY AREN’T THE BEGINNER SLIDE POSITION


    CHARTS BETTER?
    ONE FRUSTRATION I HAVE HAD AS A TEACHER OF BEGINNER STUDENTS
    IS THE SLIDE POSITION CHARTS AVAILABLE. WHETHER IT’S THE ONE IN
    THE BACK OF THEIR METHOD BOOK, OR THE ONES I FOUND WHILE
    SEARCHING ONLINE, NONE SEEMED TO PRESENT THE INFORMATION
    THEY NEEDED THE WAY I WANTED IT TO. 

    WELL, I KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO. I WOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THE
    (HTTPS://EXTENDABONE.COM/)
    FASHION I HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED;  IF I COULDN’T BUY WHAT I
    WANTED, I WOULD JUST MAKE IT MYSELF!
    (HTTPS://EXTENDABONE.COM/HOW-DOES-IT-WORK/)
    SHOP
    (https://extendabone.com/shop/)
    JUST THE RIGHT INFORMATION.
    MANY OF MY BEGINNERS ARE NEW TO READING BASS CLEF AND EVEN
    TO READING MUSIC AT ALL. AS A RESULT, THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND THE
    CHROMATIC CHARTS THAT ARE POPULAR. THEY REALLY JUST NEED TO
    SEE THE NOTES OF THE B FLAT MAJOR SCALE AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE.
    THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO
    LEARN TO PLAY SONGS AND HAVE FUN MAKING MUSIC.

    AFTER THAT, I WANTED TO EMPOWER MY STUDENTS WITH AN


    UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE TROMBONE WORKS. UNDERSTANDING
    THE HALF STEP RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SLIDE POSITIONS LETS
    THEM FIGURE OUT WHERE TO PLAY EVERY NEW PITCH THEY WILL
    ENCOUNTER.

    A CLEAR TROMBONE SLIDE POSITION CHART. 


    ON MY CHART THE NOTES ARE ORGANIZED LEFT TO RIGHT TO SHOW
    THE HARMONIC SERIES OF EACH POSITION. I ORGANIZE THE NOTES ON
    THE SAME PARTIAL TOP TO BOTTOM IN EACH OF THE SEVEN SLIDE
    POSITIONS. I TRIED TO LINE IT UP AS WELL AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE
    THAT STUDENTS CAN EASILY SEE THE NOTES TO PLAY IN ONE POSITION,
    AND THE NEIGHBOR TONES OF EACH PARTIAL ACROSS THE WHOLE
    INSTRUMENT.

    FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I INTRODUCE E NATURAL STUDENTS WILL


    (HTTPS://EXTENDABONE.COM/)
    UNDERSTAND THAT E NATURAL IS ONE SLIDE POSITION HIGHER
    (SHORTER) THAN E FLAT, SO IT IS IN SECOND POSITION. SAME THING FOR
    D FLAT BEING ONE HALF
    SHOPSTEP AND SLIDE POSITION LOWER (LONGER)
    THAN D NATURAL, SO FIFTH
    (https:/ POSITION. 
    /extendabone.com/shop/)

    WHEN WE LEARN F SHARP ON THE FOURTH LINE, I TEACH


    STUDENTS THAT SOME NOTES CAN BE PLAYED IN MORE
    THAN ONE POSITION. EVEN THOUGH WE MOSTLY PLAY F ON
    THE FOURTH LINE IN FIRST POSITION, IT IS ALSO IN SIXTH
    POSITION. WALKING DOWN THE HALF STEPS FROM B FLAT IN
    FIRST OUT TO SIXTH AND SEVENTH POSITION
    DEMONSTRATES THIS AND THE RESULTANT BUGGING EYES
    OF UNDERSTANDING ARE WELL WORTH THE TIME OF THE
    EXERCISE.

    MAKING CONFIDENT, CAPABLE, AND INDEPENDENT


    STUDENTS.
    CHILDREN LOVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW THINGS WORK. THEY LOVE
    INDEPENDENCE THE MOST! I SEE IT EVERY DAY WITH MY OWN SMALL
    CHILDREN WHO ARE NOW 2 AND 4. THEY DON’T WANT TO BE TOLD THE
    ANSWER AS MUCH AS THEY WANT TO BE TOLD HOW TO GET THE
    ANSWER. IS THIS THE CASE 100% OF THE TIME WITH 100% OF THE KIDS?
    NO, OF COURSE NOT. BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT I AM HELPING 100% OF MY
    STUDENTS FEEL CAPABLE AND CONFIDENT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THEY
    ARE ALL ABLE TO FIGURE ANSWERS OUT FOR THEMSELVES IF I AM
    WILLING TO GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TOOLS TO DO SO.
